  1. kawawa ung taga baggage counter…they said it took them 3 months to organize, how come race distance was not accurate. but it was still fun

  2. kahiya ang ace dito pati promoter na cla jc, at reema..lang kwenta disorganized, from jerseys to freebies, they’re cheating the race distance, almost 4 sale pa ang mga booth…hay, d na kmi ulit sa ace hardware..handyman na lang..

  3. heard that that the 5k and 10k distances were short. 5k was actually 4.3k

    i reviewed the route map and plotted it and indeed it is short. no wonder you'd beat your PR

    this is probably one of the biggest boo-boos ive ever heard

    and the icing on the cake was that the 3k was actually 3.9k, i hope they were able to rectify it this morning

  4. kaka bad trip :(

    heard that the "10K" was just 8.5k, kaya naman pala i was able to beat my time.

    the baggage counter is also a big FAIL :(

  5. I was disappointed that the distances were not correct. The finish line was a mess. As I start my kick there were so many people for the 5k I could not see the 10k finish. So I know I lost a few seconds. But I had a great time. I live in the USA and this was one of the highlights of my vacation. I hope to do a triathlon next time I visit PI. Thank you all for this event.

  6. me and my buddy was wondering why we finished so early it’s just b’coz the distance was short, even from the start the race organizer at the starting line we’re only shouting, don’t you guys have megaphones?????……..hahahahaha!

  7. they shoould have placed the finish line in a corner loop, separate from the main race route..at least they could have provided the extra distance to complete the entire 10k or 5k, and would noit have crowded the finishline..Anyways, i was not a registered runner..just went there to see mypartner run and just rabbited the race at the same time..No wonder i finnished 10k in just 53 mins in my stopwatch time..

  8. The race itself was ok, but I’d like to point out that during the turn on the big globe, there were rude bus drivers who can’t wait and was trying to move their vehicles forward even though there were still people crossing in front of him. This was a potential safety hazrd and thankfully no one was hurt, but many were shouting at the bus driver and cursing at him for blocking the path.

    Has anybody else encountered this?

  9. the race was not well organized..imagine having to wait in line just so you can cross the finish line?!after which, you had to get in line for the loot bag..ni wala man lang nag-aassist..ang haba-haba ng pila sa ibang booths samantalang may mga booths pala na walang pila..ang gulo pati, kasi katabi ng pila ng finish line yung pila for the loot bags..

    kailangan mo din pumila sa mga water stations..and nakakatawa pa, may marker in front of moa (near the huge globe)..it says 2.5km and 7.5km..pero pagkaliko mo sa kanto, kita mo na yung finish line..akala ko nga may lilikuan pa bago yung finish line..yun na pala yun..hehehe..

    and dun sa starting line, di malaman ng mga organizers kung paano gagawin dun sa ribbon (if gugupitin or hahawakan or tatanggalin na lang)..pati ba naman yung ribbon e pinagkakaguluhan pa nila?!

    and 1st time ko din maka-encounter na yung runner ang pinapagtanggal nung stub ng bib..dun kasi sa ibang races na nasalihan ko, ayaw ng mga organizers na yung runner ang magtatanggal ng mga stubs..

    very disorganized talaga…

  10. nakakalungkot lang po talaga yung run kahapon…i feel so short of distance kaya di ako nagtataka na nabeat ko PR ko…

    see this picture of the actual scenario before you reach the Finish line and before you able to give the stubs…https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=178028&id=308222742968#!/photo.php?pid=4212006&id=632243995

    speaking of stubs…just wanna share how disorganized the collecting of the stubs were…before i was able to give my stub…the stubs from the usher’s hands fell on the ground…cguro nataranta na sa dami ng mga runners…bket kaya ganun…sana meron manlang syang wire to spindle those stubs besides meron namang hole allotted for that…was able to give my stub 7-9 minutes after i reached the finish line by the way…

    but over all…masaya ako sa performance ko…for having few walk breaks all throughout…

  11. this race is really a big mess. from the gun start where in they announce the start of the race by merely shouting the countdown and until the end of the race wherein you have to line up just to cross the finish line. I didnt expect to much from this race but it was really too disorganized it was supervise by amateurs!!! you cant distinguish the marshals from the crowd since they werent in uniform.the water station personnel were to slow in giving water. I think ace hardware should just stick in selling and never venture in organizing a fun run.

  12. Such a big mess!!!

    It was my 1st time to fall in line before the finish line! Weird! Wala man lang sponsor na rehydrating drinks (except mineral water!)gulo pa for the loot bag. Although they had the coolest stuff huh. Plus paikot-ikot ako sa Mighty Bond booth for the gudis! hehehe

    The organizer- sorry but my rating for you -FAIL!

  13. Now I wounder how accurate the results would be if I waited in line for 5-10 minutes to cross the finish line? It was my first run and I was disappointed at the long line near the finish line. I hope that this things will not happen to me again in the future :(

  14. its running etiquette that you have to line up when you reach the finish line lalo na at marami kayo… kung ayaw nyong pumila eh di bilisan nyo ang takbo para mauna kayo.

  15. ive joined a few races this year wherin there were more participants than this race. well i think its just right to line up kung marami kayo..but that is after crossing the finish line, not before crossing the finish line.i cant imagine how u can beat your personal time if u have to line up before making it to the finish line. if only they organized the event ng maayos kahit kasing dami pa ng natures valley run ang participants cguro hindi magkakabuholbuhol sa finish line.

  16. I didnt line up because there are no lines when I finished my race at around 17:00-20:00 in 5K category. Im still waiting for the official results. My stopwatch say I ran at 17:28 starting when I crossed the starting line and ended. So I dont how long did I stay online at the starting. Marami kasing medyo mabagal na mahilig makipagsiksikan sa unahan.

    Running etiquette again: if you think you cannot finish your 5K race at sub25 better stay behind. Im not bragging, im no elite, pero hindi kayabangan ang pagsasabi ng totoo.

  17. @ Alexis – can you please quote from what running etiquette book that requires people to run at sub25 not to line up at a race?

    If we all finished at sub25, you would have lined up, just like everyone else. No sense bragging about it or belittling those slower than you because they had the misfortune of being stuck with the poor organization skills of the race organizers. There were races (like Nature Valley) that had 4x more participants than this that did not have this sort of problem. You being faster does not solve the problem.

  18. it's not really surprising na wala pang race results. sa sobrang gulo ng event na 'to, i'm sure kahit yung mga organizers malilito kung paano nila ipo-post yung time ng mga runners na malamang hindi naman nila na-orasan ng tama. they didn't even had a megaphone or a simple microphone!they had to shout to inform the runners the race was about to start. BARRIOTIC is how i would describe this event =(

  19. @Alexis – wow!!so di ka pa pala nagyayabang sa lagay na yan..

    you do know that some peo ple are running just for fun, don't you?!and even if there are people slower than you, you'll be able to break away from the pack since sabi mo nga, mas mabilis ka..

    FYI, the main point of races is not to be the 1st to cross the finish line..it's to be able to cross that finish line, period..

    e nag-online ka pa pala kaya ka nahuli sa starting line e..and are you asking us how long you stayed online??lmao!!geez..english 101..

    next time, organize your own races..para you can choose the runners that will meet your standards..

  20. @Alexis, I wish we can run together in 10k or 21k in a future marathon and teach me how to run fast as you mention. I'm not a fast runner but I enjoy running and and willing to learn to run longer without getting tired. Teach me….

  21. i hope that the organizers will learn from all of the booboos and have a better race event for all of us next year. out from this experience, let us also learn to be careful on signing up on races where we do not know the credibility of the race director

    i just wish that the local running community will keep on supporting such events despite the shortcomings. good luck on your future races :)

  22. Sa milo kailangan din bang sub 25 para sa harap ka? tanong ko lang po?

    see you guys on sunday I will not be at the frontlines kasi hirap ata mag sub25 sa half mary.

    results please

    peace!

  23. The OCAI Run and Team Women Run which were held on the same day already posted their race results. I hope Eco-Friendly Run will follow soon.

  24. The difference between Philippine Independence Day
    Marathon and Eco-Friendly Run hmmmmmm I say the same grade “F”

  25. and dont bring me your “Grammar Nazi Bang Bang” I dont care if I have a “wrong gramming”, you can understand what Im trying to say if youre just SMART!

  26. it doesnt mean that if you attend a running clinic you running competitively and not having fun. For a runner who attends a Running Clinic is someone who really value running more.

    A RUNNING CLINIC IS MUST FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANTS TO RUN A RACE.

  27. D@MN IT’S ALREADY FRIDAY !!!!

    Where are the results we paid not just for the “mighty bOnd” and cheap ballers.
    It’s supposed to be a fun run and we are not having fun at all, up to now we are waiting for the “results” it may not be correct as it should be but i want mine.

    Thanks

  28. @alexis

    ive been lookin for a running etiquette book but cant find any, maybe you can distribute a copy to everyone on your next race, educate us please. take a stand by the way first you say its running etiquette to line up on the finish line, that you should run faster if you wanna cross first then you say on the starting line you shouldnt be in front if you can run at sub25. if you are as fast a runner as your comments imply getting stuck at the finish line should be no problem to you since you have an entire 5k ahead to overtake & you should have already gotten ahead at the finish line so why complain about lining at the end? haha seems like your "RUNNING ETIQUETTE" is only for what benefits you. please i apologize for being one of the slow runners who was on your way. ps, telling the truth is not pagyayabang but telling the truth to belittle others IS!! learn about humility first before you talk about "not" bragging more of your running etiquettes. geeeeezzz…..!!!!!

  29. I joined a lot of marathon already but this is the worst marathon i ever joined, very disorganized especially when it comes to the finish line, everything in the booth was for sale and no freebies even the drinks are for sale, super kuripot! i won’t join ace hardware again!

  30. you cant look for a running etiquette book, running etiquette are being discussed in RUNNING CLINIC, that is if you attended one. Wala akong minamaliit dito. Im just saying that if you are a slow runner then dont stay in front of the starting line or run as if you own the road. Slow runners stay at the right side of the track fast runners on the left. When you reach the finish line fall in line. Kung mahaba yung linya wag kang magreklamo. Magreklamo ka sa sarili mo.

  31. people who run for fun usually do not attend clinics, thats why its running for FUN not running competitively. join a real marathon a 42k one! lets us the people running for fun enjoy our own little 5 & 10k runs! we paid the same amount we all deserve the same treatment. like you said neither of us runners own the road. we all just run in our own pace overtake if you must but you cant deny any runner fast or slow a place in front.

  32. There's no book on "Running Etiquette" but we can make one and everybody should participate

    #1 During the run "Mind the road and not his/her butt infront of you".

    #2 Dont please, dont FART to avoid fainting of those who are behind you medics are not all over the race track.

    #3 Lets follow road manner, pass on the left and run on the right side of road.

    Please continue……

  33. 4. If you could see someone's butt it means he or she is ahead of you so pass at your own will cause they wont bother to look behind and pave the way for you.

  34. can pinoyfitness get information on why the result has not come out yet? can they tell us when so people don't have to wait?

    -i agree alexis with this. true and correct!

    Good thing, i joined the OCAI run, same date with this. 3 long uphills! and that is fun!

  36. race results please!!! sa time ko kc 30mins andun na ko, kaso na stack up ako near the finish line. pero in general, our team had fun, first time namin ginamit team singlet namin, may banner pa. see u guys in future running events!!! wag na mg away sa thread!!! peace!!! :)

  37. huwhat! still no results? the organizers should declare if there will be actual results posted they've already wasted our time participating in this big mess of an event they could at least be honest enough to admit their faults instead of making people wait & wait & wait for nothing.

  38. I won in the raffle. I won a Black and Decker Multi-Tool. Not really something I would use. What I don’t get is why did they have to get our BIB numbers?

    When I asked if I could keep both BIB number and prize, the man who gave away the prize told everyone else, “hindi niyo kailangan ng BIB number niyo kasi nanalo naman kayo ng prize.” Ano naman ang gagawin niyo sa BIB number namin, may claim stub na nga.

    We need the BIB number kasi mas importante yon. It’s more than a souvenir. My mistake really.

    Pero for someone who says that (and who actually does not run), hindi mo maiintindihan kasi you never ran in your life!

    Yun lang.

  39. Why is it that until now( more than a week already) the result isn't posted?i agree with the rest that it was short of 5k or 10k….i'd like to reiterate,can we see the race result?

  40. baka kaya siguro wala pa yung result… nawala yung mga barcodes… or baka nabasa or something… by the way… this is my first time and i'm so disappointed on this event…

  41. naku, as if may nagbabasa naman from the ACE organizers dito. masaya na yang mga yan at naperahan na nila ang participants. let's just forget about this nightmare race. and make sure that if they attempt to organize again, we spread the word to other runners for them not to join.

  42. wala ng susunod dito nxt year napaka disorganized from the start of the race up to now wala p din result, wag n kayo umasa n maraming magparticipate nxt year kung meron man!

  43. Yes, disappointed ako sa event na ito, it seems they use lang the SM Foundation wala silang alam how to organized big event like this, sana mapublish kung sino ang race organizer nito baka sila din yung organizer ng ibang palpak na race.

  44. Attention Race Organizers of the Eco-Friendly Run. The race results for Last Sunday's Milo Marathon (Manila Leg) is already out wala pa rin yung sa Eco-Friendly Run. Please be considerate as many runners have waited long enough.

  45. Kaya pala 50mins. lang time ko kahit petiks lang yung takbo ko hahaha! Sa kasama kong si ryan, di counted yung 40 minutes mo! hahaha bawi ka na lang

  46. @alexis: oo na, ikaw na ang mabilis. at ikaw na ang humble. congratulations.

    dali, review-hin mo na yung grammar book mo. bilisan mo rin ang pick-up mo ha.

  47. @Jumbo, I agree with you but sad to say they have a face of the latest concrete panel. You know? (sabi nga ni pack-yaw)

  48. ok lets face it. race results is screwed up, but you can at least show the names of the participants and there bib numbers. as a sign of delicadeza. would you guys agree?

  49. The organizer of this event must do something to rectify this…lest runners won't participate anymore in your funrun…!you're receiving so many negative feedbacks…i hope u can clear the issue.Remember:runners don't just run,they run for a good cause and you must satisfy their sacrifice.We are customers,aren't we?

  50. Can we demand a refund from the organizers? Dapat P100 lang per participant.Super palpak naman event.Hindi ko nga magamit singlet ( no available size anymore ). Please contact us ASAP kung saan kuha kahit rebate.

  51. here's another race you might want to be careful of when joining. the Run for Humanity by Philippine National Red Cross. There are no detail yet about it on the web except for the tarpaulin hang at their office. Where exactly the race. I visited their Intramuros office twice, the first time no one was manning the registration in fact when I ask about the event the reception do not know a detail about it. then I came their on saturday not knowing they have no office but obviously for working people would be the only ideal time to visit their office. I ony manage to get temporary receipt but no bib number and singlet.

  52. Where are the results?????????????? It has been weeks! Sorry to say but this is the lousiest fun run I have ever been to! Kanino ba kami pwede mag-complain?

  53. Results please. I know the distance were not correct but you could still post the times for that distance. Thank you………

  54. I called the number indicated in the poster and a guy from their office told me that it should be out in a week or two. Well, I called a week ago so their promised results should be out this week. Two thumbs down for this race. Tsk, what a waste of money. I've learned my lesson.

  55. @jie… I join the "Run4Life" last July 11 in Alabang, when we are about to turn in a small rotunda a guy ahead of me spit with yukky buti na lang slow runner kami kaya no harm done behind him.

    Rule #5. Swallow your spit or avoid spitting at all during the run.

  56. Sa kinauukulan: ACE Hardware

    Mga sir saka madam, RACE RESULT po sana wag abutin ng Pasko…tutal short cut na ang mga distance siguro para mabilis but the result naman po paki post nyo na i short cut nyo na rin para mabilis.

    Merry Christmast po! lapit na…

  57. Who is the organizer of this run? We deserve to atleast know who they are… I’m sure the reason why they can’t post the result is because they don’t know the actual time that we finished the race. I had to queue for 15 mins near the finish line!!!!

  58. I’m 100% sure the race results for 5k will be inaccurate, if there will be any. I remember the person collecting the stubs dropped everything (he was just holding the stubs with his bare hands). Great, just great.

  59. @ Alexis
    you must be related to the organizers. same bunch of i**s. wow 17 mins! why you running 5K? if your that good, do a 21K or at least a 10K. sayang naman bayad mo sa running clinic!

  60. @alexis, kami ng mga kabarkada ko nde kmi nag raRunning clinic na yan.. Khit papaano nmn e nsa top 50% kmi.. Ace hardware ang pinaguusapan d2 nde running clinic, wag po tau mag away away, ung race organizer ng Ace ang awayin ntin hehehe ^^, Masaya dapat ang usapan d2 kc ang mga runner, beginner man o beterano na eh dpat laging msaya dba?? tama n yang awayan n yan Girahin ulet ang organizer hehehe peace ^^,

  61. hindi ako nagbabayad sa mga running clinics, because I only attended those that are free. And I dont get trained in running clinics.

    @ken, sure top 50% is fine, but I placed 22nd during the Milo Manila Leg.

    for A, thats Milo 21KM Category to you. Why did I run 5K, because I paid, silly!

  62. this is so disappointing… the race route is not accurate, 3 weeks later still no results, long line before the finish line. pineperahan na lang talaga… run organizers please help us here, coach rio !

  63. Hi mga kasama you may want to check out an article at the inquirer lifestyle home and entertaining section today about our eco run last june with pictures pa. antay na lang siguro tayo ng konti at baka lumabas na rin yung race result natin. Yung independent run last june 12 ang alam ko 1 month bago lumabas yung kanilang race result. i inquired 2 weeks ago sabi eh last week daw ilalabas. sana this week lumabas na rin at alam kong marami na talaga sa atin ang medyo bad trip na.
